Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Marcos Leonardo at the end of the season.

According to a report from 90 Min, the three Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on the 20-year-old Brazilian striker during the under-20 World Cup and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official offer to sign the player.

Leonardo is highly rated in South America and he has a big future ahead of him. He has been an important player for Santos as well and it will be interesting to see if he moves to the Premier League this summer.

Arsenal need to add attacking quality to the side and the Brazilian forward could be a useful acquisition.

Leonardo is only 20 and he is likely to improve with coaching experience. He could develop into an indispensable asset for Arsenal in the coming seasons. The Brazilian has eight goals across all competitions this season and he will add some much-needed depth to the side.

The Gunners will be competing in the Champions League next year and they need a bigger squad to cope with the increased number of fixtures. Signing a quality striker should be a top priority for them.

The opportunity to join a big club like Arsenal will be an attractive option for the player. He is likely to be keen on playing for the Gunners.

Manchester United will have to bring in an attacker who can be the understudy to Marcus Rashford. The England international has carried the Manchester United attack all season as he needs more help and support from his teammates.

Leonardo could be a useful option to have and he will allow Erik ten Hag to rotate his attack from time to time.

Furthermore, Rashford is at his best when he is playing as a winger, and Leonardo could lead the line for the Red Devils, allowing the England international to operate in his natural role.

As far as Tottenham are concerned, they will need to bring in a quality alternative to Harry Kane in the coming seasons.

The 29-year-old will be out of contract in the summer of 2024 and he is yet to sign an extension with the North London club. Tottenham need to start planning for life without him and Leonardo could prove to be a solid, long-term replacement.
